An additional and important considera.
tion is tbnt by our present rules of nomi.
nation we fairly secure all the advantages
of the Crawford county plan without its
evils. There is a direct vote by the peo.
pie for candidates, and In every case where
a majority upon Instructions for a eandi-
date ia thus secured. The nomination is
I1
course IN convention. And in the case of
any Office where no candidate has a major
ity of the whole convention vote by in-
sjructions. such majority is procured by
delegate voting iu convention but under a
stringent rule tnat no candidate can be de.
priyed of apy one of the convention votes
to which he is entitled by instructions. SO
long as his name remains before the con.
yrniion. We have thus, under our presen,
system, a popular vote plan of nomination,
carried out and enforced 10 the fullest pos.
sible extent compatible with majority con.
troll. IL is right that large minorlties IN
the several districts should be represented
in convention, and they are SO represented
upon instructions; but it is equally righ,
and proper that the majority should rule in
the ultimate decision made
IL is also evident. that our present nlan u,
nomination has a great advantage over th,
